Mounting the MS-66-K and Turning It On

To mount the microphone to your camera, make sure the MS-66-K is turned off and follow these steps:

1.

   

Rotate the shock mount’s locking wheel counterclockwise to loosen it.

2.

   

Slide the shoe-mount adapter all the way into your
camera’s shoe mount.

3.

   

Rotate the locking wheel clockwise until secure.

4.

   

Insert the microphone into the shock mount so the

suspenders grip the base of the microphone. 

Note:

 Make sure the microphone barrel is not touching the 

shock mount suspenders, as this may produce disruptive 
noise when recording.

5.

   

Insert the microphone’s 3.5 mm audio connection into 
your camera’s audio input jack.

Tip:

 You can adjust the angle of the shock mount to tilt the microphone up or down.
